Had me caught on reverie
Loneliness behind the smiles
Keep the ghosts out of bay.
Yesterday went like a dream
Had me wishing it were all real
Had my thoughts unguarded
Drinking the truth with wine.
I look up at the sky
Where I rumbled my thanks
Lonely eve to bury the past
And create a new life.
Oblivion

For change is constant
Every breathing being here
Comes and goes
With the passage of time.
A force that is immovable
Nothing comes by accident
Because everything actually
Has a place
In the scheme of things.
The broken fragments
Of happy memories
Might just become a second-
Fast and fleeting
Because that’s what life is.
There remains only the shadows
Of a life borne out of dust
Maybe that tiny flicker of hope
Would also return to dust
Forever lost in oblivion.
Maybe

And hell a heaven
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe dreams are real
And reality is a dream
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe happiness is pain
And pain is a happiness
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe innocence is guilt
And guilt is an innocence
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe sweet is bitter
And bitter a sweet
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe winning is losing
And losing is winning
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe justice is revenge
And revenge is justice
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe war is peace
And peace a war
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe the present is a past
And the past a present
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe love is hate
And hate is love
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe life is death
And death is life
Either way
I have lived.
And maybe life is a puzzle
Forever a mystery
Either way
I have lived.

Sparkling like the clear waters
When you walked by
My ugly windows.
And here I am, just watching
Letting life pass by
Hearing the ills of the world
Seeing the empty shells of people.
Feeling half-awake
With the thick walls
I built upon myself-
That started to crumble.
Confused Am I
With the fear of tomorrow
Hanging in the air-
So much for hoping.
So like water I float
Letting the flow lead me
Somewhere I can be-
Somewhere I belong.
